Virat Kohli: Indian superstar ends overseas Test century drought in landmark 500th match | IND vs WI

At long last, the drought is over for the cricket maestro, Virat Kohli! In his momentous 500th international match, the Indian superstar scored a hundred, his first overseas Test ton in nearly 5 years.

Though it took him 21 deliveries to open his account in the innings, Kohli was determined not to miss out on his 76th international hundred this time, especially after falling in the 70s during the previous match.

Kohli's sublime innings served as a powerful reminder that despite having played 500 international matches, he remains at the peak of his powers.

While a brief slump is not uncommon for legends at some point in their careers, Kohli has proven in the past year that the cliché "Form is temporary, but class is permanent" rings true.

During this exceptional knock, the Indian stalwart also ascended to the 5th position on the list of highest run-scorers in international cricket, and now he's 24 tons away from Sachin Tendulkar's legendary record of 100 hundreds.

Looking ahead, India will hope that King Kohli's purple patch continues, especially with two significant challenges on the horizon: the Asia Cup and the World Cup set to take place later this year.
